The Wisconsin Board of Regents approved the Cooperative Masters of Science Degree Program in Educational Leadership and Policy Analysis between the University of Wisconsin-Madison and the University of UW-Whitewater on February 5, 1982.
The cooperative program provides the opportunity for educators in the central regions of Wisconsin to obtain a Master of Science degree, with certification (Principal, Director of Instruction, Director of Special Education and Pupil Services) in Educational Leadership and Policy Analysis, from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. All required coursework with the exception of the Director of Special Education and Pupil Services certification will be offered on Whitewater campus. Director of Special Education and Pupil Services certification will require completion of two UW-Madison classes not offered on the UW-Whitewater campus.
